CLLocation manager not returning location

I am trying to get the current location using this code in my viewDidLoad method:

//init the location manager
locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];    
locationManager.delegate = self;
locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest;

[locationManager startUpdatingLocation];

and I have my delegate methods:

//if it fails to get the location
- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didFailWithError:(NSError *)error
{
    NSLog(@"didFailWithError: %@", error);
    UIAlertView *errorAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc]
                               initWithTitle:@"Error" message:@"Failed to Get Your Location" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];
    [errorAlert show];
}


- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation
{
    NSLog(@"didUpdateToLocation: %@", newLocation);
    self.currentLocation = newLocation;

}

my UIViewController conforms to the CLLocationManagerDelegate however I am getting no activity, no NSLog or errors. I have tested on a device. Could someone give me a pointer to what might be going wrong here please?

make sure, you follow the guidelines in the Documentation

https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/LocationAwarenessPG/CoreLocation/CoreLocation.html

especially that the ´UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities´ key is in your Info.plist.
